Asha Greyjoy saw the fish scales growing on Victarion's back. Although it was only a small piece, it was almost foreseeable that if some means were not used to intervene, it would inevitably grow into that monster in the future.
Asha's words also silenced Victarion. In fact, he had thought of this possibility when he just felt itching on his back and touched the fish scales, but he was still unwilling to face it, but
His niece's words shattered his fantasy very realistically.
Will he become such a monster?
Victarion thought of the scene when the half-human, half-fish monster rushed toward him that night, then he clenched his fists slightly, closed his eyes, and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"no, I can not."
"If this day really comes, I will choose to leave on my own or commit suicide."
Although Victarion does not adhere to honor as much as Ed Stark or Jon Clinton, he also has his own inner persistence.
On the battlefield, he was a calm commander and a brave warrior, and off the battlefield, he often spoke of his enemies with respect.
If one day he is really going to turn into a monster, Victarion's most preferred method is to jump into the sea and let the Drowned God take him away. However, based on his previous understanding of that kind of monster, this method may not be feasible.
.
"It's slowly eating away at and changing my body."
Then Victarion spoke, and he saw the sadness on Asha's cheeks, and then the former commander-in-chief of the Iron Fleet frowned.
"There is no need to mourn for me now!"
"I won't die so easily..."
Victarion clenched his fists. Except for the sudden fainting not long ago, he felt that he was in good condition.
"The great Drowned God will protect me, and I can still control this feeling."
The feeling of this change is not very strong. Victarion believes that he can restrain this change in a short period of time, and maybe he can find a treatment method during this time and survive.
And if no treatment can be found, the worst outcome is death.
As a warrior, he had long been prepared to die in battle at any time, but he did not expect that people like him did not die on the battlefield, but died of an unknown virus or curse.
The woman with short black hair calmed down a lot after hearing her uncle's words. Now this change has only just begun. Victarion should still have a lot of time. If so, the monster that attacked him once
Isn’t he also a human being?
Reminiscing that the other party had indeed spoken out words, Asha couldn't help but shudder slightly. She couldn't accept the departure of her few trustworthy relatives, and she also couldn't accept that Victarion's final outcome would change.
It looks like this.
Then Asha opened her mouth. She wanted to know if the group of red-robed monks had any treatment methods. After all, they had the means to deal with monsters.
But thinking of the scene where the monster was captured alive and then burned alive, Asha immediately backed down, and Victarion also thought of this scene. He shook his head slightly and spoke in a low voice.
谷/span> "If I fall into their hands, I may not be able to escape the fate of being burned to death."
"I don't want to be burned alive like that monster. This is not the way an iron type should choose to die."
This group of red-robed monks are extremely paranoid in their actions. They see the world in black and white. As long as they can achieve their goals, they will do whatever it takes. There is no legal or moral restraint. Everything is just as long as it is labeled as the will of the gods.
A cursed person like Victarion might be burned to death in their hands without saying a word, but he didn't want to throw himself into a trap.
"I still have a few years, let's wait and see."
Then Victarion added in a low voice.
Asha Greyjoy found no trace of gold on the Golden Head Peninsula, but she did not give up easily.
She determined that her guess was correct.
Therefore, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Fleet ordered the establishment of a small stronghold on the small archipelago called Lizard Head to the north of the Jinshou Peninsula, leaving behind two hundred soldiers and ships.
Anyway, Zale Island is only a few days' voyage from Nas Island. If there are no islands suitable for military garrison near Nas Island, maybe they will come back.
The fresh water resources on Zale Island are scarce, and they mainly rely on the fresh water rivers in Honghua Valley and Sweet Lotus Valley. The reason why there are no tribes on the Jinshou Peninsula is that there are no fresh water resources.
But this problem is not difficult to solve, because many of the imperial fleets are ironmen who once followed Asha's father, King Balon. The Iron Islands, like the Summer Islands, do not have much freshwater river resources, so the ironmen are
Find underground water by digging a well.
In the end, with the help of several experienced old ironmen in the fleet, we found several places suitable for digging wells, and then dug out underground water. Although the amount of well water was not very large, it was more than enough to feed the 200 people in this temporary stronghold.
of.
Therefore, the imperial fleet established a temporary stronghold on the Lizard Head Islands north of the Jinshou Peninsula. They cut down trees to make walls, and also built some wooden houses and tents.
Then the three-headed fire dragon flag of the royal family of the Valyrian Empire was planted, which was equivalent to declaring temporary sovereignty. If outsiders landed on the island without authorization, they would encounter a counterattack by imperial soldiers.
Although the Lizard Head Islands are not on Zale Island, they are very close to the Jinshou Peninsula and even across the sea.
People can see the other side by standing on the coast and looking far away. However, the Lizard Head Islands are very small and there are no other tribes on the island. Therefore, there are only temporary strongholds for the Imperial Fleet.
When the chief of the Honghua Valley tribe heard about this, he was a little concerned at first. He was worried that these outsiders might be up to no good. However, he later heard that they only had 200 people left, and they settled in Lizard Head.
On the islands, I felt relieved.
After all, two hundred people would not pose a threat to them. At the same time, he also intended to use the name of the imperial fleet to intimidate the rival Sweet Lotus Valley tribe on the other side of the same island, so that the other party would restrain themselves and not be so unscrupulous. After all, Sweet Lotus is now
The Vale Tribe gained the upper hand.
Therefore, the chief of the Red Flower Valley Tribe chose to remain indifferent to the imperial fleet's encampment.
Then, a few days later, a thousand Golden Heart Wooden Bows were delivered in exchange for part of the fleet's supplies. Asha left his uncle Victarion at the base of the Lizard Head Islands as the commander, while she herself led
